Opinion
November 12, 1999
PRESENT: GREEN, J. P., LAWTON, HAYES, HURLBUTT AND BALIO, JJ.
Amended petition unanimously dismissed without costs. Memorandum: Respondents' motion to dismiss the amended petition for lack of personal jurisdiction should have been granted. Petitioner served the amended petition by mail upon the Attorney-General and the Oneida County Attorney, but served none of the respondents. "Absent a court order authorizing such service, petitioner did not obtain personal jurisdiction over respondents by serving the petition by mail upon the Attorney-General and the [Oneida] County Attorney" (Matter of Lowrance v. Coughlin, 190 A.D.2d 915; see, Matter of Jarvis v. Coughlin, 88 A.D.2d 1041; Matter of Jones v. Coughlin, 87 A.D.2d 953). Thus, we dismiss the amended petition (see, CPLR 7804 [g]; Schmitt v. Perales, 187 A.D.2d 1041). CPLR art 78 Proceeding Transferred by Order of Supreme Court, Oneida County, Parker, J.
